App lounge: Fetch and display author name from F-Droid, instead of displaying "unknown"

Sayantan Roychowdhury requested to merge 4427-fdroid_unknown_apps into main

Description

Previously almost all F-Droid apps showed "unknown" as author name.
Now App Lounge can fetch data from F-Droid Gitlab and display the correct author name.
In some cases, if the author name is not present in F-Droid data as well, then display F-Droid as author.
